When total PSA concentration is above 10 0 ng mL, the probability of cancer is high and prostate biopsy is generally recommended The total PSA range of 4 0 to 10 0 ng mL has been described as a diagnostic "gray zone," in which the free PSA:total PSA ratio helps to determine the relative risk of prostate cancer (see table)
- Benefits of PSA Free and Total Test vs. PSA Total Test Alone

- PSA, % Free - Lab Results explained | HealthMatters. io
Typically, men with prostate cancer have lower levels of free PSA relative to their total PSA because cancer tends to produce more bound PSA PSA, % FREE: This is the ratio of free PSA to total PSA, expressed as a percentage It is calculated by dividing the free PSA by the total PSA and multiplying by 100
- Prostate Cancer Screening Tests | American Cancer Society
One form is attached (“complexed”) to blood proteins, while the other circulates free (unattached) The percent-free PSA (%fPSA), also known as the free total PSA ratio (f t PSA), is the ratio of how much PSA circulates free compared to the total PSA level The percent-free PSA is lower in men who have prostate cancer than in men who do not
- Free PSA: Test, results, and prostate cancer - Medical News Today
Free PSA ranges can vary, but generally, a higher ratio of free PSA to total PSA indicates a lower risk of prostate cancer On the other hand, a low ratio of free PSA to total PSA indicates a
- Prostate-Specific Antigen: PSA Test and PSA Levels Explained
